About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people untangle patterns that cause pain and stress. She speaks plainly and works to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Her style is collaborative and direct, with a focus on real goals and practical changes.
Jennifer draws on two decades of experience in counseling and education. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and an earlier master’s in education, along with a bachelor’s in psychology. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship problems, grief, addiction, and codependency.
In sessions she combines approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment ideas to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used when people want to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Client-centered and mindfulness methods provide space for reflection and calm.
Jennifer asks clients to take an active role in the work. She helps set clear goals, tracks progress, and offers challenge and accountability when needed. She also supports people working through life transitions, career questions, and intimacy or communication struggles.
She practices in South Carolina and communicates in English. People who want to begin with her are encouraged to follow the site process to match and schedule a session that fits their life and needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, which can be practiced between sessions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits through exercises you can do at home.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your situation. She adjusts pacing and homework based on what you and she notice is working over time.
